C301X: Maintenance Planning Fundamentals

If one compares maintenance to the human body, maintenance planning provides the thinking capacity that determines what work to do, and when, while the artisans provide the doing capacity of the hands and feet, and supervisors provide the controlling function of the brain, steering the hands and feet.

Because nothing in life takes place before it has been thought through, no worthwhile maintenance task can take place before planning (naturally including any planning done by supervisors and artisans).

No worthwhile maintenance task can take place without good planning

canstockphoto2187822 Maintenance planning fulfils a crucial role in the organisation. Maintenance success is absolutely dependent on good scheduling of maintenance work, proper task planning, and timely procurement of parts and materials. The Maintenance Planner plays a critical role in achieving this essential outcome.

The C301 Maintenance Planning course thus has as its purpose to prepare Maintenance Planners for this role. This includes training in the various scheduling techniques, such as simple time slot scheduling, detailed network scheduling of maintenance shutdowns and projects, as well as batch workshop scheduling. It also includes training in task planning methods, procurement methods, use of maintenance systems, task flow optimisation, maintenance information analysis, and the support of maintenance management through well defined and formatted reporting.

This course, which is a shortened version of the C301 Maintenance Planning course, leaves out the content on Systems (day 4 of C301) and Management Support (day 5 of C301). It thus addresses the most critical planning skills, i.e. scheduling, task planning and procurement. Some organisations may perhaps feel that their planners need not understand the deeper systems issues, and may also not require their planners to support the business' managers with pointed information. They may thus prefer this simplified course to the more comprehensive training.

The course is extremely hands-on, allowing candidates to practice the skills learnt through practical application during four to five group assignments per day. This is augmented by an application project following course completion.

Credits 10*, level 5**

* The course comprises 50 hours of study, of which 24 hours are in class, with a further 10 hours of private study, and 16 hours for the assignment.

**Occupational Certificate level

Who Should Attend

The course is intended for maintenance planners, maintenance supervisors, artisans and those who manage them.

The reason for including the wording 'those who manages them' in the sentence above is that we often find that some class of Asset Management / Maintenance people are sent on courses without the person managing them being able to activate their newly acquired knowledge after the course. What rather happens is that they are managed exactly in the same way as before the course, which often leads to the course not having the required effect.

Artisans are also specifically added above as the effect of maintenance planning and the information fed back to the Computerised Maintenance System is to a large extent dependent on their knowledgeability of, and support to, the Maintenance Planning function.

S803X: Root Cause Failure Analysis Fundamentals

Root Cause Analysis is one of the most potent tools in the fight against failure

Root Cause Analysis is used in a routine way in most medical situations. It is recognised that a symptom has an immediate cause, which can in turn be caused by a deeper seated problem. Physicians also understand that you cannot just jump in and start treating the symptoms. You need to stop to consider whether there's actually a deeper problem that needs your attention.

If you only address the symptoms – what you see on the surface – the problem will almost certainly happen again... which will lead you to re-address the same symptoms, again, and again, and again. If, instead, you look deeper to find out why the problem is occurring, you can remedy the underlying systems and processes that cause the problem.

We in maintenance also work with 'patients', machine patients. In the same way as with patients in the medical case, we have to find problems through the use of Root Cause Analysis.

Root Cause Analysis seeks to identify the origin of a problem. It uses a specific set of steps, with associated tools, to find the primary cause of the problem, so that you can:

Determine what happened.
Determine why it happened.
Decide on an action to reduce the risk of it happening again.

S803 photo4 Root Cause Analysis typically leads to one or more of the following three basic types of causes:

Physical causes – something physical failed or stopped working.
Human causes – somebody did something wrong, made a judgment error.
Organisational causes – a system, process, or policy that people use to make decisions or do their work is inadequate.

This simplified version of the full S803 Root Cause Failure Analysis course aims to provide all the information to be able to perform a full root cause analysis, but leaving out the very worthwhile part on using the Herman Brain Dominance instrument to optimise your team's problem solving capabilities, as well as the final comprehensive practical workshop. This is intended for persons that need the knowledge regarding RCFA, but without the need for optimise the use of the method, and the practice afforded by the final workshop.

The accent of the course is on practical application through group work. The purpose of this is for students to internalise the method well.

S822: Implementing ISO 55000

ISO 55000 is about using the organisation’s assets for maximal gain

Important Note: If unsure of the background to the ISO 55000 standard, read the "S820: What is Asset Management and how does it differ from Maintenance” page.

The discipline of Asset Management is increasingly important. In Asset Management full regard for achieving maximum benefit from the organisations’ assets is intended. Such expertise draws from all functions within an organisation: from business, financial, human resources, as well as operations and maintenance management. It is particularly challenging, therefore, to gain a good understanding of the discipline across the whole breadth of the knowledge base.

The ISO 55000 standard assists asset intensive businesses to achieve excellence in Asset Management. This is of critical importance when dealing with shareholders and regulators, who expect first-class results from the business’ assets.

S822

The S822 course is meant to assist the organisation in implementing the ISO 55000 standard. It assumes that the participant understands what the ISO 55000 standards entail (per the S821 course).

Benefits of implementing ISO 55000 includes:

The application of an asset management system provides assurance that the organisation's objectives can be achieved consistently and sustainable over time.
Asset management enables an organisation to examine the need for, and performance of, assets and asset systems at different levels.
Aligning the asset management objectives with the organisational objectives, as well as linking asset reports to financial reports, improves the organisation’s effectiveness and efficiency.
Additional benefits:
- Improved financial performance
- Managed risk
- Improved organisational sustainability

S821: Understanding ISO 55000

ISO 55000 is about using the organisation’s assets for maximal gain

Important Note: If unsure of the background to the ISO 55000 standard, read the "S820: What is Asset Management and how does it differ from Maintenance" page.

S821b

In deciding whether Asset Management is for your organisation, consider the following questions:

Do you understand the risk profile associated with your asset portfolio and how this will change over time?
Can you demonstrate the business consequences of reducing/increasing your capital investment or maintenance budgets by 10% over the next five years?
Can you justify your planned asset expenditures to external stakeholders?
Can you easily identify which investment projects to defer when there are funding or cash flow constraints?
Do you have the appropriate asset data and information to support your Asset Management decision-making?
Do you know if your people have the right competencies and capabilities to manage your assets?
Do you know which Asset Management activities to outsource?

The ISO 55000 set (ISO 55000, ISO 55001, ISO 55002) of International Standards is primarily intended for use by:

Those involved in the establishment, implementation, upkeep and improvement of an asset management system
Those involved in delivering asset management activities and services
Those needing to assess an organisation’s ability to meet legal, regulatory and contractual requirements

S820: What is Asset Management and how does it differ from Maintenance?

canstockphoto16522547

Critical changes affecting Maintenance and Production people

Production as well as service organisations have traditionally discharged their duty towards their owners / founders /stakeholders by operating and maintaining production/service assets. For this purpose there existed a production/service department and a maintenance department in most firms.

Since the sixties of the previous century there was a progressive realisation that production assets need to be managed comprehensively by production organisations. Maintaining them is not the total answer. The idea of Physical Asset Management (mostly simply called Asset Management) was conceived.

Asset Management includes Maintenance, but much more than that. It broadly includes the following four main stages:

Asset conceptualisation, design, development, and production.
Asset (and support infrastructure) selection, procurement, and installation.
Asset operation and maintenance
Asset disposal

This led to the British PAS 55 Standard (2003, updated in 2008), followed by an International set of standards, called ISO 55000. These address the need for developing the typical organisation’s Maintenance function to a full blown Asset Management Function.

The questions now asked by most Maintenance (as well as Production) people are:

What is the difference between what I have been doing and what I am supposed to be doing in future?
Will these standards really contribute to a better future for our businesses?
What is the real difference between Maintenance and Asset Management?
What do I have to do?

The present course intends answering these questions, so that business managers (production and maintenance) can start planning for the new future specified by these standards.

Can Maintenance and Production people disregard these changes?

These changes will have at least as great an effect as that of the various safety, quality, and environmental standards. It is critical to build an understanding of these changes now and start planning for the future.

S808: Asset Management Logistics

Asset Management Logistics is one of the critical aspects underlying the maintenance and management of production and service assets in an industrial/service organisation.

One can have an excellent asset management strategy, a good maintenance plan, an efficacious maintenance organisation, and experienced personnel. But if these are not supported by a fit for purpose logistical infrastructure, the results of the maintenance effort will be disappointing. The same is true regarding the long term management of these assets for maximum gain.

Asset Management Logistics includes the following:

The logical flow of people, work, materials, parts, information, etc. in the maintenance work situation.
Proper layout design and equipping of the maintenance organisation.
Proper design of maintenance plans, procedures, and support services to ensure supportability of production equipment.
Maintenance Inventory and Procurement systems that ensures an effective and efficient supply chain to support ongoing maintenance work.
Job design and work measurement that sets realistic standards for maintenance work execution.
Techniques of Forecasting, Planning, Maintenance Scheduling, and Project Management as means to plan and organise the asset management function well.

There are no formal courses or books on the subject of Asset Management Logistics. Consequently, the design of the logistical elements built into most asset management organisations are based on very flimsy grounds. This course is meant to rectify this situation.

C904: RCM ProAktiv: Advanced Reliability Centred Maintenance

Excellence in RCM practice: RCM ProAktiv

canstockphoto1629456

The idea of RCM was conceived in the late sixties of the previous century by the airline industry to achieve acceptable levels of maintenance for aircraft. This was followed by a carry-over of these concepts first to the military and then to general industry (circa 1980).

RCM has been practiced widely since then, but especially so from the early nineties. It has now become necessary to take RCM practice to a new, advanced level.

RCM ProAktiv does exactly this by developing the original RCM methodology both in width and depth of application. In the present course known RCM concepts are thus revisited, expanded, and explored comprehensively.

This course is based on the book RCM ProAktiv: a proactive approach to Reliability Centered Maintenance - a complete view, by our principal, Dr Jasper L. Coetzee. Dr Coetzee is also lecturing this particular course.

Because of the advanced nature of the course, candidates that want to enrol need to either have an engineering degree (B.Eng., BSc (Eng) or B.Tech), or alternaltively have successfully completed the following two courses as a prerequisite for this course:

C702: Reliability Engineering in Asset Management
C903: RCM Facilitation and Analysis

This is to ensure that participants will adequately cope with the course content. Exceptions to this rule is possible, but will have to be suitably motivated.

This course thus builds on the foundation already established in our C702 and C903 courses. Apart from shortly revisiting the Reliability and RCM foundations, the student should be in a position to quickly grasp and use the advanced concepts as taught in this course.

Course Content

Module 1 – Essential background An overview of the RCM process RCM - a definition Historic review Structure of RCM RCM in organisational context Conceptual framework The Maintenance Cycle Maintenance a ‘ holistic’ problem Maintenance Risk and its reduction Maintenance Strategy options The context of RCM	Module 2 – A foundation for applying RCM ProAktiv successfully Problem Areas Problems in the application of RCM Problems in the definition of RCM The scientific basis of RCM RCM Framework Outline of the RCM process Preservation of function Tracking diagram Preparing for RCM Application Determining the scope of RCM application Information assembly	Module 3 – Finding the failure modes that will lead to an excellent maintenance plan Identification of failure modes FMEA process Identification of functions, functional failures, failure modes, and failure effects Example application Prioritisation of failure modes FMECA process further developed The risk approach Classification of failure modes Case Study part 1

Module 4 – An advanced view of the Task Selection process Task types Task selection process Technical/Economical Feasibility Technical selection criteria Default tasks Classical RCM RCM ProAktiv Documenting the task selection results Case Study part 2	Module 5 – Assembling and implementing the RCM ProAktiv Maintenance Plan Putting the RCM ProAktiv Plan together Finding the correct task frequencies Performing task packaging Critically assess whether the plan will achieve the goals Putting the RCM ProAktiv Plan into effect The benefit of limiting the scope of RCM RCM in task context Practical application issues Progressive application Continuous improvement Factors governing the success of the RCM ProAktiv process

Who Should Attend

The C904 course is recommended for Reliability Engineers, Maintenance Engineers, Asset Managers, and RCM Facilitators that intend enriching their practice of RCM to a full RCM ProAktiv level.

Important note: Laptop computer required – refer to terms and conditions on Course Registration form, and footnote on the Course Listing.

Rules for Diploma Study

Purpose of the diploma study

Diploma study has as objective to lead the student to achieve a well balanced understanding of, and be able to practise the maintenance discipline well at a practical executional level.

Study method

The normal study method is by attending the chosen comprehensive and short courses at the normal scheduled times in Pretoria. The alternative of completing the study in one's own time (distance study) is a possibility, but is not recommended. It must be borne in mind that students who insist on distance study forfeit the benefit of interaction with fellow students, workshops, group discussions, class tests and knowledge transfer by highly skilled lecturers.

However, distance study could be an option for students from other countries.

It might sometimes happen that a specific scheduled instance of a course is cancelled due to a lack of interest. In such case the student can either attend the course at a next scheduled occasion, or study on his/her own (nevertheless, it is not recommended, as stated above). If the student has completed all other courses and has to lengthen his/her study to a next study year due to such rescheduling, the re-registration fee mentioned below under 'extended study over multiple years' will not apply.

Order of presentation of courses

The College will, based on the courses chosen, impose certain restrictions on the order in which the student takes the chosen courses. This is simply to ensure that the more foundational courses are taken first.

Change of course content of diploma

If the student for some reason feel that he/she want to change the course content after starting the diploma, an application can be lodged through the Course Administrator, for approval by College Management. The Management will not unnecessarily withhold such permission, but can decline the request based on the change degrading the intended academic purpose of the diploma. More than one change of courses will only be allowed in very exceptional circumstances.

Date of registration

Diploma students are allowed a maximum of three years, calculated from the date of registration, to complete their studies, and with this in mind a student needs to register before the end of August in order to attend at least one course before the end of that year.

Students who register between 1 September and 31 December will only be allowed to commence their studies the following year at that year’s price.

Payment of fees

Refer to the payment terms on the administration page. Extension for payment, if applicable (only for private enrolments), need to be arranged beforehand. In such case 34 percent of the fee is payable before study starts (see ‘Date of registration’ above), 33 percent not later than 31 October and 33 percent not later than 1 January of the year following. Interest will be charged at the prevailing bank prime rate for any fees outstanding after the agreed dates of payment.

Cancellation of study

No cancellation of study is allowed. Due to the discounted diploma fee, a student and/or his/her employer takes full responsibility for the full fee at enrollment.

Extended study

Extended study over multiple years Where students study the diploma over more than one full calendar year, a re-registration fee of 5 percent of the advertised full diploma fee for the particular year will be payable as a registration fee for each additional study year. This is meant to offset the increase in materials and other costs for the particular study year.

Repeat assessments

Where a candidate is not successful in passing an individual course chosen as part of the diploma, the prescribed tests/assignments need to be repeated and an assessment fee of 10 percent of the price of the particular course paid to cover costs. No new study materials and class attendance will be provided.

Materials

The diploma is built up of comprehensive and short courses. Each of these courses include a course file, text book(s) where applicable, and other materials where applicable. See the individual courses for the relevant details. A diploma student will not receive any duplicate materials due to the fact that he/she includes two or more courses in the diploma that normally would include duplicate text book(s) for individual course enrolments.

Recognition of previous study

Students will automatically receive credit for previously completed Terotechnica courses - this recognition will not influence the study fee involved in diploma study as this fee is already appreciably discounted.

Final Project

Following the successful completion of all courses for the diploma, the student has to complete a final project in one or more of the study areas chosen. The student makes an appointment with one of the senior College lecturers, who will act as his/her mentor, and proposes a topic for the final project, which should preferably benefit his/her employer significantly. The lecturer and student together draft a final goal, procedure, and report content outline of the intended project. The student then performs the work at his/her employer's business site and compile the report, with regular submissions to the lecturer who gives feedback so to steer the student towards output excellence.
